My name is Dalton Burch and I am a senior at Texas State University. I am writing this blog to help everyone consume visual communication more accurately and to see things in every light imaginable. As American citizens in the 21st century we have more control than ever over the things we say, watch and hear. Television has exploded into one of the highest grossing markets in the world and will only continue to grow if the money keeps pushing the product to higher levels.
We can learn so much from what we hear and see everyday, it helps us become who we are and decide in each moment what we want for our lives. Access to thousands of TV series and films is a reality for anyone reading this post right now. The truth that TV teaches us, is that we really aren’t that different. Empathy plays the most important role in any communication, whether verbal or visual, we want to hear and see things that make us feel like ourselves and provide us with a feeling of knowledge and entertainment. We ultimately become everything we engage ourselves in during our time living.
We are the actors and we have full choice over the way we perceive everything that happens outside our bodies. Salvation lies within, not outside ourselves. This is what film teaches us and why I feel it is important to understand the messages in media and see every truth that is set before us. Shows I will be featuring this semester include Atlanta, Ballers, The Night Of, Vice Principles and more. These new shows are some of the best out right now and shed light on entertaining perspectives, some serious and others funny. I will provide a good mixture of content on these series and detail important turning points and the things that make these series great. I will use Youtube and other sources to give clips of scenes.
Y’all enjoy!
